Welcome to Spring! It's a little early to be saying that but the recent 70+ degree weather foreshadows good things to come. Listed below is a quick update of what we have planned this coming season:

Next Meeting: Our first meeting of the season will be held at RDZ Motorsports in Danbury, CT (12 South Street Danbury, CT 06810, 203.628.7725) on Wednesday April 11th at 7:00pm. Members are encouraged to arrive earlier to socialize and get aquainted with their full-service shop and product offerings. We can thank Rich and Scott of RDZ for hosting us and providing a fabulous location for us to hang out and chat. As usual, pizza and drinks will be provided. You can visit RDZ on the web at: http://www.rdzmotorsports.net/

Memberhip: As of today the club has 604 members, with 529 of those located in CT or the surrounding states. The club continues to grow at a brisk pace, centered around people of all backgrounds who have a passion for these great cars. More importantly, I think we can all agree that the friendships we have forged in this club are priceless. We are always looking for assistance with meetings and events so please volunteer to help one of our dedicated officers (Jim Hagani, Phil Parent, Keith Hultmark, Bryan Little and Greg Emmons in order of appointment) who are each responsible for leading one monthly meeting in addition to their other responsibilities. We are especially looking for meeting content. So if you have ever wanted to share your knowledge of Z's, Nissans, Datsuns, Racing, Restoration, etc, please contact an officer.

Preliminary Schedule of Events: We have uploaded a preliminary schedule of meetings and events for 2012, which can be accessed at: http://www.ctzcc.com/schedule.html. Please keep in mind that some dates are tentative and subject to change, especially the dates of our annual car show and Lime Rock day with Bob Sharp, which we have not yet confirmed. As usual, meetings are held from April through October on the second Wednesday of the month. While meetings officially begin at 7:00pm, members are always encouraged to arrive early since most dealerships want us to vacate their buildings promptly at 9:00pm. Members should always feel free to post ideas for Fun Runs and other gatherings directly to the Discussion Forum under "Upcoming Events" thread http://forums.ctzcc.com/.

Spring Fling Car Show: RDZ Motorsports will be hosting a SPRING FLING car show on May 12th with a rain date of May 13th. The event will be held at the Danbury Police Activities league building at 35 Hayestown Road, Danbury, CT from 8:30am to 4:30pm. The show will benefit the families of Firefighters and Police who were impacted by 9/11, with proceeds being donated to THE GEAR UP FOUNDATION. The event classes will include Nissan Z's, GTR'S, Infiniti G's, Q's, M's, BMW's, Corvettes, Mini Coopers, Hot Rods and Custom Bikes. Lake Candlewood is directly across the street which will make for great scenery. Check the Discussion Forum for more updates as the date draws nearer.

Merchandise: As you know, one of the ways we raise funds to operate a "free" club is through merchandise proceeds. This area, succesfully developed by Keith Hultmark, has been the second largest source of club funds over the years (after our annual car show). Don't forget that we have a club store and you can always purchase items by visiting http://forums.ctzcc.com/viewtopic.php?t=6202 and contacting Keith. I know that Keith has been working on having new items for sale at our April meeting.

That's all for now! Hope to see you at our first meeting on April 11th!
